The criminal trial of former Windcrest City Manager Ronnie Cain and his brother Gary Cain has been postponed until Sept. 6.

The Cains are accused of embezzling from the city of Windcrest from an account funded by Rackspace Hosting Inc. for the city to use for infrastructure improvements around the company's headquarters in the former Windsor Park Mall. The brothers have been charged with three felony counts and could spend the rest of their lives in prison if convicted. They have denied the charges.

The trial was scheduled to start Thursday, but was postponed following the death of Gary Cain's lawyer, Jimmy Parks Jr. Gary Cain is now represented by Nico LaHood and Andrew del Cueto. Ronnie Cain has been represented by Adam Kobs.
